Rijckaert Pouilly-Fuisse Vieilles Vigne 2020
$93.00
Description
This Pouilly-Fuisse expresses all the complexity that a Chardonnay could give on a great terroir of Burgundy. 100% Chardonnay. Expresses the typical qualities of the famous appellation. A blend from vineyards in relatively cool areas (facing west), this Pouilly-Fuissé has a generous heart in an elegant body. Limestone soils on more or less stony slopes. This wine offers a beautiful typicality of this well known appellation: yellow ripefruits (pear, apricot, …) and white flowers aromas, the mouth is full and round, with a light woody taste, and the finish is fresh and tense. ABOUT DOMAINE RIJCKAERT The Domain Rijckaert was created in 1998 by Jean Rijckaert, a passionate Belgian established as a wine producer in Burgundy since 1990. Nowadays, in addition to 4 ha in South Burgundy, the Domaine RIJCKAERT cultivates 5,5 ha of vineyards in the Jura where Jean felt in love of outstanding terroirs. Thus, there are two cellars: one at Davayé (South Burgundy, near Mâcon), one at Les Planches, near Arbois in the Jura. The Maison RIJCKAERT also purchases fine grapes from all Burgundy vineyards, vinificated with the same precision and the same savoir-faire as its own vineyards. In 2013, Jean decided to gradually pass the torch of his passion on to Florent Rouve and also pass down the “savoir-faire” that have made the reputation of his wines: restricted yields, manual harvesting, slow and moderate pressings, indigenous floras, long wine aging and, ...some precious secrets! A careful and natural winemaking, which aims to express the typicality of the grape and the specificity of the terroir where it comes from.
